About Curt Gowdy State Park
Curt Gowdy State Park sits in the foothills of the Laramie Mountains, roughly midway between Cheyenne and Laramie along Happy Jack Road. Its varied terrain includes low meadows, rolling hills, and steep granite formations. Three reservoirs, Granite Springs, Crystal, and North Crow, offer fishing, with boating allowed on Crystal under a horsepower limit. The park is known as a major mountain biking destination and has campgrounds, a visitor center, and Hynds Lodge, a historic building on the National Register of Historic Places. Wildlife viewing and birdwatching are also popular here.
